Activity Notes
Santiam Pinnacle is a multipitch sport climb located near Foster, OR with three pitches which Mountain Project rates a 5.6. The plan is for our group to be a group of 6 with three groups of two climbing.
The climb leader and assistant will bring quickdraws and anchor material required for the climb. Please bring a daypack that you can bring essentials in like sunscreen, lip balm, water, and snacks.
The Descent will involve rappeling down in 3 raps with a 60m rope. Each belay station has rap rings.
The plan will be to leave early on Friday morning and return Friday evening if all goes according to plan.
Rock shoes are recommended for stable footing.
